Of course the one thing that I did not do was run the updates on Zorin. P. Not sure exactly what did it. I have removed and reinstalled kaffeine a few times. Added extra xine bits : sudo apt-get install libxine1 libxine1-all-plugins phonon-backend-xine following a hint from somewhere. In the Kaffeine TV configuration I removed the 'device'. That caused a bit of a problem because I couldn't find a way of adding a device. Removed all the contents of home/.kde/share/apps/kaffeine - that took some finding, and reinstalled Kaffeine and it all seems to work again.

Re: [Dorset] Kaffeine problems
To Peter Merchant: Don't know if it's particularly relevant to your OS, but there's been quite a lot of chatter about Kaffeine on alt.os.linux.mageia - 2 threads starting 6 June and 23 June.

[Dorset] Kaffeine problems.
Until a few days ago, Kaffeine worked fine with my Freecom DVB-T USB stick, Now it says 'no device found' but dmesg shows it there, and the firmware is in it's usual place [/lib/firmware]. I notice that my version is ver 1.2.2 and apt-get tells me that this is the latest version though the Kaffeine pages say 2.04 was released a week or so ago. I am not sure where to try from here, or whether and how to upgrade kaffeine and see if that fixes it. Any help appreciated. I am using Kubuntu 16.04 64bit Peter M. -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2016-08-02 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk / CHECK IF YOU'RE REPLYING Reporting bugs well: http://goo.gl/4Xue / TO THE LIST OR THE AUTHOR
